TPDL has been the leading scientific forum on digital libraries since 1997. Until 2011 the conference was named European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL). Information about the previous ECDL/TPDL conferences can be found at http://www.tpdl.eu/?cat=3.

The conference includes a variety of events in order to produce a rich and stimulating programme. Typically, a Conference includes (but is not necessarily limited to): (i) Tutorials, (ii) Workshops, (iii) Doctoral Consortium, (iv) Research papers, (v) Panel discussions, (vi) Posters & Demonstrations, (vii) Other co-located events, such as project meetings, and (viii) Social Programme.

Past conferences attracted 200-300 participants, and were usually held in the first weeks of September. TPDL has a long established cooperation with Springer-Verlag and its proceedings are being published in the frame of Lecture Notes on Computer Science, being indexed by the most important scientific databases and aggregators.
